wicket gmap-contrib: broken on EU locales

[Nino Saturnino Martinez Vazquez Wael <ni...@jayway.dk>]

Hi

I've been trying to set locale manually on specific form components or 
the whole from altogether, by overiding getLocale. Reason for doing this 
is that I wish to use US locale for converting the Lat and lang of the 
Gmap component. Google always keep their coords in US locale. This means 
that we have a problem using the gmap contrib on EU locales where the 
decimal seperator and point are reversed. A fix for it are to use 
getSession().setLocale(Locale.US); but this sets your complete 
application in US locale and data in other forms than those within gmap 
contrib will also be affected. How can I set locale for a form or 
specific formcomponents only?

regards Nino

You can't set it, but you can override Component#getLocale(), which
should do the trick.
